Karla Pringle is an interdisciplinary artist working on Wadawurrung Country, Victoria. Her practice grows from embodied pattern-sensing shaped by disability and by early, pre-verbal ways of reading the world. This orientation attunes her to subtle shifts in environment, and the work becomes a way to translate that somatic information into form.

Working across drawing, sound, film, spectral photography, textiles, and plant and lichen chemistries, she traces the crossings between inner weather, body chemistry, and the wider environment. Her materials are approached as intelligences shaped by climate, soil, and species entanglement.

Her work unfolds inside a shared terrain that forms between body and place, a mutualistic field shaped by somatic, atmospheric, bacterial and lichen signals. This co-temporal space guides much of her practice, allowing her to attend to the subtle ways bodies and biomes sense, adapt, and move together.

Her work remains rooted in place, complexity, and the ongoing task of re-pairing ways of knowing and being with the world.
